Lord Bassam of Brighton: As the noble Lord is aware, we sent a Note Verbale to the Indian authorities on 20 April 2005 seeking clarification of Indian citizenship laws. They have now responded and a copy of the reply has been placed in the Library of the House. The reply will necessitate certain changes to our policy. My honourable friend the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Nationality has written to the noble Lord explaining how we will publicise these changes and the steps we will take to implement them. A copy of the reply given in the Lok Sabha has also been placed in the Library of the House.
